Protein Deficiency Disease: How Can Ayurveda Help in Managing This Condition? - #16343

Lately, I’ve been feeling extremely fatigued, weak, and have noticed some unusual swelling in my legs and arms. After visiting my doctor, I was diagnosed with protein deficiency disease, and I was shocked to learn that the lack of protein can cause these symptoms. The doctor mentioned that my body isn’t getting enough protein to maintain proper muscle function and keep my immune system strong, which is leading to the swelling and weakness. I’ve been told that this condition can be caused by poor nutrition, digestive issues, or a lack of protein in my diet. I’ve tried to adjust my diet by eating more protein-rich foods, but I’m not seeing significant improvement. The swelling and fatigue continue, and I’m beginning to feel discouraged. I don’t want to keep relying on medication to manage my symptoms, so I’m hoping to find a more natural solution. That’s why I’ve turned to Ayurveda, as I’ve heard it can help restore balance in the body and support nutrition and digestion in a holistic way. How does Ayurveda view protein deficiency disease, and are there any specific herbs or treatments that can help address this condition? I’ve heard that certain herbs, like ashwagandha and amalaki, can support muscle health and digestion. Could these help with protein absorption or muscle recovery in my case? I’m also curious if Ayurvedic remedies can help improve digestion so that my body can absorb nutrients better, as I believe that might be part of the issue for me. I’ve also been trying to eat a better, balanced diet with more plant-based proteins, but I’m not sure if I’m getting enough. Is there a specific Ayurvedic dietary approach that can help boost protein intake without overloading the body? I’m wondering if there are certain foods or spices that Ayurveda recommends for people with protein deficiency disease that can help stimulate appetite or improve the assimilation of proteins from food. Another thing I’ve been thinking about is whether my lifestyle and habits could be contributing to my protein deficiency. I’ve been under a lot of stress lately, and I know that stress can impact digestion and absorption. Can Ayurveda offer stress management practices or relaxation techniques that could also support my body’s recovery from protein deficiency disease? Has anyone here dealt with protein deficiency disease and found relief using Ayurveda? What treatments or dietary changes worked for you, and how long did it take to see results?
